a group of cartoon characters are standing in front of a christmas tree and looking surprised . Alt: Simpsons scene where kids are horrified at a beating and one is crying “Stop, stop! He’s already dead.”

Thank you!

Although… 😉

All true! I'm a king of procrastination.

Thank you! 🙂

No problem 😊
I have no idea or control over what I’m saying once the camera goes on. 😂

Loved that movie.

Cartoon attributed to @wawawiwacomics: a cute octopus a cute shark and a cute jellyfish are talking. The cute octopus says, "I once saw a human and peed myself." The cute shark says, "A human saw me, and he peed himself." The cute jellyfish says, "A human touched me once, and his friend peed on him." To which the octopus reacts "Dude" and the shark says, "What?" All of which goes to prove that pee is funny. Thank you, Wawa Wiwa.

just realized i’m dressed like a newly-emancipated minor shopping in a Hot Topic

NO KINGS? Just show up. No frog costume, OKAY! No sign, OKAY! The most effective message we can send is that we are here, our numbers are vast, and we are not going to continue to take it.

JUST SHOW UP. You'll feel better. I promise.

What's the best one-liner in movie history?

I’ve lost count of how many ‘This should be a much bigger story’ we’re on by now.

OpenAI accused of using legal tactics to silence nonprofits Seven nonprofits that have been critical of OpenAI say the behemoth sent them wide-ranging subpoenas as part of its ongoing litigation against Elon Musk.

NEW: At least seven nonprofits that have been critical of OpenAI have received subpoenas in recent months, which they say are overly broad and appear to be a form of legal intimidation.

Hey!
Go check this TTRPG out!
And it helps fund a good cause & good work.

Watching an online presentation with multiple presenters, each taking questions, and my take is that if every question is a great question then none of the questions are great questions.

I knew it!

Odd, considering fish is clearly on the menu.

Thank you!
I should have added Mountain time 🙂

And it is true, that door still isn't painted because I am a procrastination king.😂

The cover for the book "In Memoriam" by Alice Winn. The top is a red background with two men in black and white, wearing suits and long coats walking away from each other, and the title split into the "In" above them and "Memoriam" below. Beneath that, the cover is split into a mint green section with Alice in it and a white section with Winn.

In Memoriam is a devastating story of two young men struggling with their love for one another against the backdrop of 1910s public school life, only to have their struggle both amplified and overshadowed in the trenches of the Western Front in WWI. A harrowing read but can't praise it enough.

Medieval manuscript image of a man in full armour, with what looks like a squirrel on his helmet, riding a big, long-tailed dog of some sort. His right arm is cocked and ready to throw a spear (it looks more like a rotisserie spit) with plucked chicken impaled on it. The illustration is of a "fox-crested knight riding a cat (allegory of gluttony)", from the Etymachia, a document made in Germany in 1420 and now housed in the Wellcome Library, London, as part of the "Wellcome Apocalypse".

After reading the article, one could say the mask is off. But you know, it was a mask made of cellophane anyway.
